Global warming and stronger storms

Posted on Feb 5, 2021 by Henning Michael Møller Just

This one was supposed to be easy – the Earth is warming up, this feeds more energy into the weather system and therefore we will get stronger storms. Anyone spot my mistake yet? It took me quite some time and … Continue reading →

Super-interglacial

Posted on Dec 15, 2019 by Henning Michael Møller Just

We are currently – since about 11,700 years ago – between glacial periods and therefore in an interglacial period. Back in 1978, researches at Exxon described the greenhouse effect of CO2 in the atmosphere and described the already-then result as … Continue reading →

Strong or weak Jet stream

Posted on Dec 11, 2019 by Henning Michael Møller Just

I actually thought this was correct: Global warming has been used to explain that the Jet Stream would weaken, bringing more extreme weather to the temperate zones. But I kept seeing a meteorologist saying that this was wrong. Not just … Continue reading →

No more CO2 will not lower the temperature

Posted on Nov 16, 2019 by Henning Michael Møller Just

There is no doubt that we need to get to a net zero CO2 emissions world at some point. It can’t be a surprise that this will take a very long time and unfortunately we do not have the technology … Continue reading →

Sea Level Rise higher than expected

Posted on Sep 25, 2019 by Henning Michael Møller Just

The estimated future SLR (Sea Level Rise) was just adjusted by IPCC. From the previous report (AR5) the estimate is now about 55 cm over the next 80 years (RCP4.5, range is 39-72 cm)*. In the worst-case scenario it is … Continue reading →

About tomorrow’s climate strike

Posted on Sep 19, 2019 by Henning Michael Møller Just

There’s a lot of water in the oceans

Posted on Aug 19, 2019 by Henning Michael Møller Just

Remember, anthropogenic climate change is good news

Posted on Feb 11, 2019 by Henning Michael Møller Just

This was also interesting

Posted on Aug 25, 2018 by Henning Michael Møller Just

A newspaper clipping from 1912 did its rounds last week and I’ll get to that. But this one was right below it and I found that interesting as well: Tiflis, or Tblisi as we would probably call it today and … Continue reading →
